Zilmo, apparently... you have a govt. model manufactured in 1944. By this time, Remington Rand was making all its own parts (earlier models by RR contained parts from the other manufacturers, with some coming from Singer machinery.) Your's is definitely considered a "jewel." Can't see the markings below the slide stop in your picture (if any).... but if its there and it says "FJA" that the mark of Col Frank J. Atwood, Inspector of Ordnance. Other inspection proof marks can be found on the bottom side of the trigger guard.
You have a rare gem here. Personally, I wouldn't touch it unless the old Fat historian guy on the Military Channel wrote you a certified letter telling you to have some work done on it!!!!! LOL.....
